- 2. Design With A Different Approach Break through the limitations of traditional CAD design and bring your visions to reality. Geomagic Freeform offers a comprehensive design and sculpting toolset allowing you to sculpt, detail and deform virtual clay models into any form you desire. Take your designs to the next level with the advanced toolsets in Geomagic Freeform Plus. Design for manufacturability is made easy by employing hybrid based conversions, surfacing, CAD editing tools, and mold prep tools, giving you the best of organic and digital design. Design Anything with Built-in Precision Geomagic Freeform picks up where traditional CAD software stops. This hybrid modeling system has the flexibility and benefits of many different modeling paradigms incorporating Surfaces, Solids, Mesh, SubD, and Clay. Make smooth surfaces and razor sharp edges with SubD, model precisely defined CAD shapes with NURBS and Solids or deform and emboss shapes with Clay. Perfectly Realistic Renderings Amaze and delight your clients or colleagues with high definition KeyShot for 3D Systems for fast and beautiful renderings of your designs. A wide range of preset materials, lights and cameras let you create stunning renderings. For highly customized renderings, KeyShot includes tools to create high-resolution images, custom materials and sophisticated lighting. Add Organic Design to Traditional CAD Geomagic Freeform is purpose-built to get your design into production, including its robust interoperability tools to handle import and export of 3D file formats including STL, OBJ, PLY, IGES, STEP and other neutral formats. Freeform Plus supports additional CAD formats. Combine CAD files with sculpted features to create accurate organic solids that are defined by explicit dimensions. Add Structure to your Design Geomagic Freeform’s comprehensive StructureFX™ toolset delivers the freedom to select existing patterns or create custom complex, internal and external lattice structures for lightweight and beautiful designs. Advanced tools create functional cages for applications such as custom medical implants. These tools work alongside the advanced 3D print analysis tools for perfect and successful 3D printing of your designs. Geomagic Freeform® and Freeform Plus™ , the industry’s most comprehensive organic design solution, enable you solve complex precision-design and manufacturing challenges. As the leading hybrid design platform on the market, it allows you to easily address challenging tasks within existing existing scan-to-print or CAD-to manufacturing workflows.

- 3. Quickly Import and Repair 3D Data Easily import STL, CAD, scan and other 3D data from any source and instantly use them in your designs. Quickly repair faulty and low-grade 3D data into smooth workable models. Employ sculpting and embossing tools to form texture layers into real, physical geometry that can be immediately 3D printed, used in traditional manufacturing or easily exported in a wide range of formats for downstream workflows. Manufacture Directly from Your Designs Geomagic Freeform Plus allows you to identify and remedy potential manufacturing issues early in the design process so you can retain artistic control while avoiding production surprises and costly oversights. Confidently 3D print your designs with pre-printing analysis tools to ensure the part prints right the first time. You can also use Freeform data to quickly 3D print casting patterns for fast, accurate creation of investment casts. Powerful voxel technology exports water-tight models requiring no additional costly model repair software. Easily Communicate in 3D The stand-alone Freeform Viewer will display clay models from Geomagic Sculpt and Geomagic Freeform. Simple visualization, zoom, rotate, pan, measure and cutaway tools allow others to see a model without having to be proficient in the software. Capture to Freeform Capture physical objects in 3D directly inside Freeform using the Geomagic Capture® 3D Scanner - the most powerful, integrated, industrial-grade 3D scanner and software system. Bring the real world into the digital world, and leverage existing shapes and designs in your own. Add complex design elements and build creative models around scanned components. Use 3D Tools for 3D Tasks For the ultimate in expressive freedom and faster modeling, Geomagic Freeform products work exclusively with the included 3D Systems Touch haptic devices to deliver freedom of motion and the physical sensation of sculpting in a virtual environment. This more intuitive way of interacting with your 3D design reduces learning curves, speeds design and allows you to deliver top-notch 3D data. Precise. Organic. Engineered.
